Detecting Virulent Cells of Cryptococcus Neoformans Yeast: Clustering Experiments (2008)

Jinshuo Liu, Ferry Hagen, Xinmeng Chen, Teun Boekhout, Fons J. Verbeek

Astract — The yeast Cryptococcus neoformans can cause dangerous infections such as meningitis. The presence of a thick capsule is shown to be correlated with virulence of a yeast cell. This paper...

Constructing Level-2 Phylogenetic Networks from Triplets ⋆ (2008)

Leo Van Iersel, Judith Keijsper, Steven Kelk, Leen Stougie, Ferry Hagen, Teun Boekhout

Abstract Jansson and Sung showed that, given a dense set of input triplets T (representing hypotheses about the local evolutionary relationships of triplets of taxa), it is possible to determine in...

Diversity of the Cryptococcus neoformans-Cryptococcus gattii species complex (2008)

Bovers, Marjan, Hagen, Ferry, Boekhout, Teun

More than 110 years of study of the Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii species complex has resulted in an enormous accumulation of fundamental, applied biological and clinical knowledge....

Interaction Between Genetic Background and the Mating-Type Locus in Cryptococcus neoformans Virulence Potential

Nielsen, Kirsten, Marra, Robert E., Hagen, Ferry, Boekhout, Teun, Mitchell, Thomas G., Cox, Gary M., ...

The study of quantitative traits provides a window on the interactions between multiple unlinked genetic loci. The interaction between hosts and pathogenic microbes, such as fungi, involves aspects...

AIDS Patient Death Caused by Novel Cryptococcus neoformans × C. gattii Hybrid

Bovers, Marjan, Hagen, Ferry, Kuramae, Eiko E., Hoogveld, Hans L., Dromer, Françoise, St-Germain, Guy, ...

Interspecies hybrids of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii have only recently been reported. We describe a novel C. neoformans × C. gattii hybrid strain (serotype AB) that was previously...
